Hoda Helmi of Corteva Agriscience shares how she built an AI and decision science practice from a one-person team, delivering over $150M in savings. She introduces the concept of a "digital decision twin"—a living model of enterprise decisions—and argues that starting with a single decision, rather than a data platform, is the fastest path to value. She also discusses the "franchise model" for scaling small teams within large organizations.
